Murong Yu put aside the teacup and looked at them calmly.

Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao were taken aback, and hurriedly walked over and bowed to salute,

"These Officials pay their homages to the Prince Regent."

Their minds came together,

'How come His Highness and the Royal King had come to the Military Supervisor about the same time?

Has the Royal King heard any rumors?'

Murong Ci thought,

'He also came to inspect?'

"No need for ceremonies."

Murong Yu's eyes were light, and he swept toward her as light as a feather,

"Your Royal Highness came here on His Majesty's order, right?"

"Yes, the Emperor Father insisted, saying this Prince should come and visit the place.

Actually, with Master Wan and Master Wang taking care of the Military Supervisor, how can anything be wrong?"

She put on the appearance of a wise Royalty,

"Is the Prince Regent also here to inspect?

This Prince has just seen it and everything is in order.

These two have taken care of this place in an orderly manner.

If the Prince Regent doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."

She was cheating in her heart,

'This subtle invitation, will you take it?'

Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao looked serious, and their hearts were heavy.

'The Royal King is very different from His Royal Highness, and can't be fooled by just a few nice words.'

Murong Yu stood up and stared at them meaningfully.

The invisible coercion came like a mountain, and their hearts twitched and sank again:

His eyes were deep and seemingly calm, but in fact they were cold and sharp.

"Since Your Royal Highness has already inspected it, naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that since I'm already here, it is my duty as a minister to inspect, too."

Murong Yu smiled calmly and looked in a very good mood.

"Your Royal Highness does not mind accompanying this King to check again, right?"

"There are still important things for me to do, so I'll go ahead..."

'How could I inspect again?

I must leave quickly!'

However, before she finished speaking, he grabbed her by the wrist and walked straight to the workshop behind.

As he turned around, he looked at Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao who were standing on the side, and his stare was like saying,

"Aren't the two Masters leading the way?"

Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao walked quickly ahead, waiting on their backs.

It's just that they felt that their eyes were hurting—

'What's the matter with the Royal King holding His Highness' hand?'

Murong Ci tried to shake off his hand, but couldn't do it at all.

She could only glare at him, and said in a low voice,

"Won't let go?

You have a habit of ※"Cutting Sleeves", but I don't!"

※※(N.B.) "Cutting sleeves" is an euphemism in the Chinese language, to refer to people who like people of the same gender, in particular it's used to refer to men who like to "entertain themselves" with other men, so it basically means they are homosexuals.

The expression "cutting sleeves" started from a poetry book called "History of the Han", in which the Emperor, upon finding his lover sleeping on his sleeve, and having been called to a Court Meeting while lying with him, cut off his sleeve rather than stir his lover from his sleep.

From this book onward, "Cutting Sleeves" has become an expression that refers to gay relationships.

※※

"Isn't it better to have them think we have the habit of "cutting sleeves"...?"

Murong Yu bowed his head to her ears, with an extremely affectionate and ambiguous posture,

"Won't that confuse and fool them?

They will think that this King just came to the Military Supervisor Facility to have a private meeting with Your Highness..."

"This..."

Master Wan Fang looked at Master Wang Tao, and his thick eyebrows raised high, his eyes were about to fall off in shock.

Their minds turned,

'The Royal King hadn't married a wife for five years.

Could it be that he had a secret affair with His Royal Highness?'

'Looking at His Royal Highness, he is indeed handsome and pretty, with bright eyes and white teeth.

Isn't he just a gorgeous young man?'

'Today, they came to the Military Supervisor Facility one after another.

Is it a coincidence or an appointment?'

They looked at the two superiors in front of them, and when they saw them, they sometimes talked intimately, sometimes glared coldly, sometimes laughed like wind, and felt more and more that they were flirting with each other—

'Who would dare to stay here and disturb their private meeting?!'

They raised their eyebrows meaningfully, followed from far behind and kept silent.

'This secret must not be publicized.

Maybe it will become a bargaining chip for their lives in the future.'

"They should believe it."

Murong Yu leaned forward to whisper to her again, and his big hand slid down, and turned to hold her small hand,

"As a result, they will relax their guard."

"Really?"

Murong Ci slightly stared at him, but no longer wanted to talk to him.

She couldn't move his hand away, so she might as well keep with this act.

But inside she was bursting with anger.

'He surely did it on purpose!

There is no need to create this scene to make Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao misunderstand!

It is purely his personal evil scam!'

While paying attention to the movement behind him, Murong Yu created more ambiguity and at the same time his gaze swept across the workshop like an eagle.

Suddenly, he walked to the left, stopped in front of a door, and asked,

"What's inside this room?

What is it for?"
